One of the main reasons I moved to LA was to be surrounded by ocean, mountains and sunshine all year long! I love spending time near (and in) the ocean and it’s truly my happy place. So, I thought I’d share some new favorite beachy pieces that I wore on a recent trip to La Jolla!
Beach days always seem to be the best days but when you go, don’t forget to wear a good hat, a comfy pair of sandals and bring some reef-safe sunscreen and lip balm. Read on for details...

Hat and Sunglasses
A hat is essential to any beach day because not only does it provide sun protection, but it doubles as a cute accessory! One of my favs to wear to the beach is this Janessa Leone straw hat that goes with any bathing suit/cover-up.

Oversized Linen Button Up Top
I love a good oversized linen top to wear as a cover up. Not only does linen elevate a casual beach look, but the material is light and breathable which is perfect for hot summer days!
Comfortable Dress And Sandals
I also love wearing loose flowy dresses to stay chic and cool during the summer. They are easy throw on and is great if you are going from lunch adn then straight to the beach!
I love a comfy sandal and my Tribute YSL flats are my latest obsession. To get a designer look for a great price, check out these at Zappos.

Beach Bag
Since I clearly like to come prepared to the beach, I always bring a bag with me to carry all of my essentials. I love this straw Loewe bag with leather accents and it’s the perfect size so it prevents me from over-packing.

Toptote
I never go to the beach without my Toptote. It’s a great accessory to have on hand when you want to take your hat off and ensure it won’t be blown away by the beachy breeze!
SPF and Lip Balm
As much as I love a day at the beach, a lot of sun exposure can be harmful to our skin if we don’t take precautions. That’s why I always make sure to pack my favorite clean sunscreen for my face/body and of course lip balm with SPF!
